Chick with hanging wings?

[jenniferlamar70]

We got some chicks from my pet chicken. They all are very spry and active except 1. It's wings seem to be hanging down towards it's legs for some reason. It's also less active. It's eating and drinking but then just wants to lay around and seems unbalanced. This is our first time with shipped chicks. Any help would be much appreciated..

Hi and yes we gave our chick save a chick electrolytes and vitamins in its water and by that evening it was back to normal. Ours were from a hatchery so I think the stress was taking its toll. The vitamins gave it the boost it needed to get back on its feet. It now is currently happy and healthy. You can also use nutridrench. Both can be purchased at your local tractor supply or feed store. The save a chick is more affordable though. Good luck.
